Having problems with your Dishwashers ?

Bathtubs was not listed in the "pick an expert" list, so choose dishwashers as closest thing to a bathtub. I have a whirlpool bath tub (don't know the make, but it is only 4 years old) It works fine but have a question - near the top of the bathtub there is a screaw in cap type of thing. It is a disk with a threaded bit on the back. The disk is about 1-1/4 inches in diameter and the threaded bit on the back is about 1/2 inch diameter and 1 inch long. Is this for allowing extra air into the syste

Hi, we have an aquarius hotpoint df61 and it goes through the cycle but does not drain out the last few inches of water and the wash is not as good as it should be, have unscrewed the plastic bit under the filter thing to see if there is a blockage there but nothing, have now taken off the top and side panel to try and get to the pump, currently on it's back but hard to access underneath and not sure how to remove the solid bottom of the dishwasher..please help!

A part fell into my top tray,gray,plastic,9 inches long w/ a 2 inch diameter circle in the center,looks like its an arm,spinning somewhere?....did it fall from the inside "top",side,bottom??? Don,t know where to attach back?What is it,where does it go,can it just snap back ???? Thanks for any help...MODEL FGHD 2433 KFO...Serial # [email protected]

Inside of dishwasher was dirty after cycle, baskets had black in between the screen...took out all bottom and found dirty water, a couple of inches and slime in bottom...cleaned it all out and put it back together, two weeks later, same thing..cannot see it unless you take all the filter etc out of bottom...is a Fridgidaire dishwasher 950 series about 5 years old.

I have a Delonghi dishwasher model no. DW67S/W which is coming up with the E4 message. I had this once before and was told to turn it off and on and it righted itself. This time however I used the next bit of advice. I took everything out including the salt cap thing, tipped it on its side and drained all the water out, reconnected the hoses and when I turned it back on it seemed fine....no E4 messaage straight away. It drained out for a while and then starting filling. It has overfilled again

Hi.As you know E4 means overflow. If the problem occurs regularly there is either a problem with drain line, or a fault.Ensured that you have removed all the water from the inside and cleaned thoroughly the drain ...

The upper spray arm has popped off. How can we get inside to put it back on? Can we unscrew the jagged disk thing to get to the part?

Take your time and remember where everything goes. Maybe even take pics if you get to a complicated part. I took my whole dishwasher apart and found a popcorn kernel stuck in the food grinder. Never force anything and everything should be OK. One ...

What fitting is needed to connect the water line to the back of the dishwasher. It has a plastic 3/4 or 1" pipe thread (I think) out the back side. It came with a standard brass elbow, but it seems to be missing a fitting to adapt to the plastic threads

F2 Code Hey, I have a single drawer built in Fisher & Paykel dish drawer and today I pulled the spray arm, filter and large metal screen out to clean them as we have been starting to get a bit of stuff left behind after washing lately. That was all good After putting it all back in though I went to use the dishwasher and it stopped and came up with an F2 fault, I thought I may not have put the bits back in properly so pulled them out again and noticed that on the rotor that connects the motor to

Fault F2 means the rotor is not rotating. If you say some of the vanes have broken off, they could have been jamming it. This should spin freely with minimal force when installed correctly. If you removed the rotor itself, you do ned to take care whe ...

What size are the two nuts that hold down the plastic cover that covers
the sprocket wheel. Seems to be 5/16-24 but my thread gauge fits
the threads at about 20 threads per inch?????????????
Is these metric screws and nuts.

DuraBuilt 1404. Motor kicks in for two seconds, then quits. High pressure hose blew off and I could barely get it threaded back on. Quick coupler broke so I hooked garden hose up direct. Is lack of quick coupler maybe the problem? Could I be missing a part on high pressure hose that makes it so difficult to thread onto male fitting? Thanks! Bob

There isabout 2 inches of water left in the bottom of the dishwasher after i run a cycle , and some food bits left in the water how do i drain the waterand remove the food bits? A manual was never left when the new machine was installed. We have a Quiet something 3 machine.

The filter is probably blocked.\015\012\015\012It is inside the base of the machine.\015\012\015\012Take out the filter and clean it and also clean out the filter well as that can also hold quite a bit of debris.\015\012\015\012 ...

I have a Bosch dishwasher, model SHU9915UC/U11. The spring mechanism on the detergent door cracked, and I bought the part to replace it. I took the front cover off of the dishwasher to determine how to replace it. Two white plastic "things", maybe spacers, fell out. I need 2 things: a) how to gain access to the spring on the detergent door so that I can replace it, and b) how to put the door spacers back on. An exploded parts view would probably help a great deal. Michael J. Orr

Remove the lower wash arm (1) by turning the nut (4) clockwise (right) lift the arm off, there is a bearing (3) (small thin plastic washer) under the arm, be sure not to loose it. Lift the tab on the back of the feed tube cap (2) and swing it to the right and lift up, this may need a bit of pressure to release it
This is for my Whirlpool dishwasher DU1100XTP. I'm putting it back together and can't remember if the plastic washer goes on top or underneath the feed tube cap. Also how do I remo

Our dishwasher will not drain. We took the drain hose off, it is clear. So we dismanteled the botton thing in side the washer. Cleaned all the lime disposits and other ****. There were two little bead like white balls in the drain thing. Are those suppose to be in there? We re-ssembled but the little balls back in (thought maybe they were some kind of float device) Still does not work. Can you help?

I own the Siemans SL34A006UC dishwasher which had the recall repair completed. Now it doesn't work right. The unit goes through any of the cleaning choices but when it comes time to drain, the unit stops for a few seconds, swishes water for a couple seconds, stops again, then swishes for a couple seconds, stops and then goes back in to regular cleaning mode until the timer reaches zero. At each drain cycle, it does the same thing earlier mentioned 3 times in a row, then back to washing. The unit

My KitchenAid model number KUDSO2FR-SS hs blinking lights that won't shut off. The Pro Scrub light blinks on and off and won't shut off. I can sometime lock it out with the heat button but it lights right back up. After a couple of minutes the normal button starts blinking as well as the clean button. The dishwasher does not turn on. I tried unplugging it but it just reverts back to the same thing

The upper spray arm on our dishwasher has become detached from the back of the machine, and there is no obvious means of reattaching it. Are there some clips perhaps that have snapped on the part which attaches to the back wall of the d/washer (part number PP-TD20 - it's a 4 by 1 1/2 inch long rectangular shape with rounded ends) or does this piece somehow need to be taken apart (how - i can't see how i might do this?) and the transparent 2nd layer underneath get attached first? Thanks, Sarah.

We replaced our flooring a few years back with ceramic flooring which our floor approx. 3/4 inch. We now want to replace our dishwasher but find that the opening is now 335/8 and the standard height of a dishwasher is 34 inches . We also have a granite countertop. The tile floor does not extend underneath the current dishwasher. how can we install the new dishwasher???

Hi,Rather than Going for Different Adjustments,you could Buy a Dishwasher with Small Height. Bosch have so many Dishwasher's that could Actually Fit within those Dimensions without any problem.Even Hotpoint and Hoover have Mod ...

Dish Washer we are having a problem with like a chalky residue left on things after the dish washer has finished. we are using 5 in 1 tablets with no rinse aid but salt as we are in a hard water area and this is what the manifacture of the tablets recommended. the mashine seems to be working ok and we have taken it to bits and cleaned it thoroughly.

The problem is not the dishwasher but the water that actually is going into it. the white, powder substance is because of hard water. there is a affordable product out there called the dishwasher filtration system. it will filter the water going into ...

Hi, we have a Bosch Exxcel dishwasher which mid way through a cycle a button saying Check Water came on. we turned the machine off and opened the door and found loads of water in the bottom. my husband then scooped all the water out and cleaned filter in the bottom, where we did find some bits of plastic from the kids yoghurt pots, and took the water hose off the back and checked for blockages, which there was none. the water is certainly coming from the water pipe through the hose as we tested

Check your water level sensor. And also check to make sure that your pump is working correctly. It sounds like a couple of different things that need to be addressed. First check the water level sensor. It is a tube that is located from the back of t ...

Bosch dishwasher I have a month old Bosch dishwasher. It was stopped mid cycle. I drained the water at the bottom, but the active light keeps flashing, and when I press the start,reset button, then turn it off, it does the same thing when I turn it back on. active light keeps flashing and the wash light is on. It won't even lock the door. How do I fix this because there is no Bosch dealers here to help with the problem.
